What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Darlington?

Make sure there's a clear spot on the wall inside the garage for the control box, away from shelving or anything stacked in the way.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, since the motor's control box needs a power supply close by.

Rules that apply in Darlington

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electric roller garage doors in Darlington: questions

Can I get a price for Darlington without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Darlington?

Our guide price for electric roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Darlington as elsewhere we cover.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Darlington?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Darlington garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Darlington than other towns in County Durham?

No. Guide prices are the same for Darlington as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can I add more remotes or a keypad later?

Yes. When you order a new door, you can add extra handsets and a wireless keypad at the prices in your quote. On an existing door, adding or recoding remotes, or changing the receiver, is done on a visit whose price is agreed before we come out. Keep a note of how many handsets you have, so any lost ones can be dealt with.

Can my existing manual roller door be converted to electric?

Possibly. A manual-to-electric conversion is only practical when the existing curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a motor. We check this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll say so and price a new electric door instead, so you're not paying to motorise a door that isn't up to it.
